The following writings were written during the "Writing Inspirations in the Gardens" at Biedenharn in Monroe, Louisiana at the NELRC's Spring Meeting and submitted by the authors to Kathy O'Neal for publication on the NELRC website.

THE GARDEN
Green plants & Flowers everywhere.
Follow me home, you will find none there.
As I sat on the bench in the shade, looking across the lawn at the beautiful water fountain, I feel as if I am floating on a crystal mountain.
Coming back to reality.
I realize in order to have a garden like this, Somebody must help me!
